With a friend, he raced to the garage to check on the cars, but found they were safely there. However, when police arrived and the victim went to the garage again, the vehicles had been stolen.

Chief Inspector Scott Small said it appears the owner had been targeted.

The owner of the vehicles also had a third car that was parked in the street that was broken into earlier on Monday. Nothing was stolen from the vehicle.

'It appears that this particular owner has been targeted or somebody has been keeping an eye on him, due to the fact that these cars are so unique, easily identifiable and so high-end,' Small told ABC6 Action News.

'It is rare to see those cars riding around the streets of Philadelphia, let alone have someone report them both stolen. So our police radio room continued to broadcast the flash information on the description of these cars due to the fact that they are so unique.'

The Lamborghini was recovered just before 7am on Tuesday just less than two miles away, while the Bentley was picked up at 9.30am.

No description of the thieves was available and no arrests have been made. Police now plan to review surveillance video from the parking garage of the apartment complex.

Anyone with information on the burglary should contact Philadelphia Police.
